The piece, written with understated humor and empathy, is a series of detailed observations of the cows on different days and in different positions, moods, and times of the day. The Cows is a close study of the three much-loved cows that live across the road from her. Few writers map the process of thought as well as she, few perceive with such charged intelligence. Indeed, Lydia Davis is mathematician, philosopher, sculptor, jeweler, and scholar of the minute.
"You read Lydia Davis to watch a writer patiently divide the space between epiphany and actual human beings by first halves, then quarters, then eighths, and then sixteenths, into infinity," says The Village Voice. Winner of the Man Booker International Prize
